Senate members also take too many vacations

Article Tools

This letter is in response to Pat Yurick, "House of Representatives takes too many recesses." I wonder where she gets her information from.

She stated the Republican controlled House of Representatives takes too many recesses. Well the Senate goes at the same time, Ms. Yurick.

The jobs "given" to the House were stalled in the Senate by Harry Reid, who tabled them and then gets his jollies blaming the Republicans for not doing anything. He does not care how Congress looks as long as he can blame the House.

And what about all the vacations that President Obama has taken since taking office? The economy is tanking, and he is golfing with Tiger Woods on the taxpayers' dime. He has taken more trips in four years than most presidents take in eight.

The president should be in the White House leading the charge on spending cuts and immigration reform, not blaming Congress for everything to draw attention away from his own inaction.

God bless America, and may He enlighten Ms. Yurick with the facts.
